Drops From The Faucet Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The[C#m][F#m][A][Bm][E][Em]
[D]drops from the
[C#m]faucet like a nervous [C#dim]heart[C][Bm]
Beat on my porcelain sink
[Em]a rhythm avant- garde
[D]I page through the phone book,
reach [C#m]for my fountain pe[F#m]n[C]
[Bm]Is he comin' in for the holidays
[Em]to haunt me again?
[D]I call up the Grand Central,
[F#m]"information please[F#dim].[Em]
Is that [G]nickel line on [F#dim]time? Oh fin[F]e!"
It's a [Em]hair- do with [C#dim]a wave
[A]We both forgot[Aaug] and forgave[A]
[F#dim]last time[G][Fdim]
[F#dim][Dm][Em]

[Verse 2]
[D]A peddler of pots and pans
[C#dim]down on Union S[C#m]quare[F#m]
[C]Said Cit[Bm]y Hall wants us
off the street
[Em]There's no Christmas in the [A]air
[D]Some high- brows were waiting
Carna[C#dim]tion brig[C#m]ht lape[F#m]ls[F#dim]
[Bm]Their big cars line the curbs
[E]outsid[Em]e those grand hotels
[D]I passed a m[C]arquee, Thi[F#dim]rd Avenue
"Ra[Em]mona" [G]with Loretta [F#dim]Young
and [F]I swung myself [Em]around[A]

[Interlude 1]
And (headed) uptown to the train
[D][G][Fdim][D][Dm][Em][D][C#dim][F#m][F#dim]
[Bm][Em][A][D]
[C#dim][F#m][F#dim][Bm][E][Em]
[D][F#dim][Em][G][F#m][F#dim][F]
[Em][A][D][G][C#][D][Dm][A]

[Verse 3]
[D]So this is New Year's eve
another [C#m]year h[F#m]as passed[C]
[Bm]We wait so patiently,
[Em](but) still they come and go so fast
[D]I stand on this platform,
wait [C#dim]for that basket of light[F#m][C]
[Bm]And the sound of the whistle
screamin' out
[Em]Like some hot trumpet in the [A]night
[D]And, as I'm waitin' I won[F#dim]
der [B]why and [Em]where,
And [G]what went [F#dim]wrong
But this [F]song don't [Em]tell [A]no lies
It was just a [D]quick good- bye,

[Outro 1]
yeah
[G][Fdim][D][Dm][Em][A][D]
